Primos [Cousinhood]

“Cousinhood” is a romantic comedy from Spain. After being left at the altar, Diego is abducted by his two wacky cousins to the seaside resort where they vacationed as kids. Their aim is to see if Martina, Diego’s first love, still comes there. Old connections and new transform [a word, so overused in film reviews] the three immature men as they rethink the choices they made and why. Again, one must accept that people, especially good-looking “movie” people are incapable of thinking and can only act on impulse. There is one exception here; Martina, the incredibly beautiful Inma Cuesta, has grown up and has a pre-teen son. She maintains a distance and cautiously navigates Diego’s rebounding affections. It is beautifully shot and fun to watch but ultimately leaves you seeking a modicum of sanity.
